Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dry feeding devices for laser particle size analyzers, and in particular to a dry feeding device for laser particle size analyzers. Background Technology

[0002] A laser particle size analyzer is an instrument used to measure particle size distribution. Its principle is that when a sample passes through a laser beam, scattering or diffraction produces a specific light energy distribution. An optical model converts this light energy distribution signal into an electrical signal, which is then calculated by software to determine the particle size and distribution. Due to its simple operation and stable measurement results, it is widely used in various industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and coatings. In these industries, most samples dissolve in water or react with water, requiring dry measurement methods. During dry measurement analysis, the sample is fed by a feeding device in the auxiliary system of the main unit to a dispersion device for dispersion. Only when the feeding device uniformly feeds the sample into the dispersion device can the dispersion device effectively disperse the sample.

[0003] The feeding device is usually installed on a linear vibrator. The linear vibrator drives the sample on the feeding device to move in a straight line. Traditional feeding devices require the sample to be evenly spread on the material spreading area of ​​the material tray, and then the baffle is adjusted so that the sample can pass smoothly through the adjusted gap during vibration. Finally, the locking nut is tightened.

[0004] Traditional feeding devices require the sample to be evenly spread on the tray. The uniformity of the spread affects the amount of material fed, thus affecting the dispersion effect. Furthermore, the size of the baffle gap affects the uniformity of the feed. It takes many trials to find the right size. At the same time, different spreading techniques and baffle gap sizes are required to measure different samples, resulting in low work efficiency. Finally, manual intervention is required to process sticky or easily clumped samples, which reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A dry feeding device for a laser particle size analyzer includes a hopper mounting base 10, a hopper 20, and a material screening device 30. The hopper mounting base 10 is connected to a vibrator. The hopper 20 is detachably mounted in the hopper mounting base 10. The material screening device 30 is disposed in the hopper 20. The material screening device 30 is used for crushing and screening materials.

[0030] Understandably, the hopper 20 can be quickly disassembled, making it easy to disassemble, replace, clean, and maintain, and it is convenient to use. The material screening device 30 can crush and screen materials without manual intervention for sticky or easily clumped samples, thus improving the user experience.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The material screening device 30 includes a screening cup 31, a screen 32, and a plurality of screening beads 33. The screening cup 31 is disposed in the hopper 20. The screening cup 31 is frustoconical in shape. A screening chamber 311 is provided inside the screening cup 31. The diameter of the lower end of the screening cup 31 is smaller than the diameter of the upper end. A plurality of screening holes 312 are opened at the lower end of the screening chamber 311. The plurality of screening beads 33 are movably disposed in the screening chamber 311. The diameter of the screening beads 33 is larger than the diameter of the screening holes 312. The screen 32 is disposed at the upper end of the screening cup 31.

[0032] Understandably, after the vibrator is turned on and the material is put into the hopper 20, the material will fall above the screen 32. At this time, the material first passes through the screen 32 for screening, then through the gaps of the screen beads 33, and finally through the screen holes 312 to complete the dispersion.

[0033] It is worth noting that when processing sticky or easily clumped samples, after the sample falls onto the sieve beads 33, the high-frequency vibrating sieve beads 33 will break the sample, and then the sample will fall through the gaps between the sieve beads 33, ensuring the uniformity of sample drop. Furthermore, no manual intervention is required, reducing labor costs.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The hopper mounting base 10 is provided with a hopper mounting groove 11. The hopper 20 is inserted into the hopper mounting groove 11.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 The hopper mounting groove 11 is provided with guide posts 12 on both sides. The hopper 20 is provided with guide holes 21 on both sides, and the guide posts 12 can be inserted into the guide holes 21.

[0036] It is worth noting that the guide post 12 is inserted into the guide hole 21, which can restrict the hopper 20 from rotating in the hopper mounting groove 11.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 A dry feeding device for a laser particle size analyzer also includes a quick-release assembly 40. The quick-release assembly 40 is used for quickly locking and disassembling the hopper 20.

[0038] Reference Figure 6 The quick-release assembly 40 includes a positioning platform 41, a mounting hole 42, a positioning post 43, a handle 44, and a locking rod 45. The positioning platform 41 is located on the hopper mounting base 10 and on one side of the hopper mounting slot 11. The mounting hole 42 is located on the axis of the positioning platform 41. The handle 44 is rotatably fitted onto the positioning post 43. The positioning post 43 passes through the handle 44 and is inserted into the mounting hole 42. The locking rod 45 is horizontally positioned on the hopper 20. The lower edge of the handle 44 has an inclined surface 441. The locking rod 45 is in close contact with the inclined surface 441. When the inclined surface 441 is in close contact with the locking rod 45, the vertical freedom of the hopper 20 is restricted. The handle 44 has an unlocking notch 442. Rotating the handle 44, when the unlocking notch 442 is aligned with the locking rod 45, unlocks the vertical freedom of the hopper 20.

[0039] Understandably, in the embodiments of this utility model, in the locked state, the hopper 20 is inserted into the hopper mounting slot 11, and the guide post 12 is inserted into the guide hole 21, which allows the hopper 20 to have only a vertical degree of freedom. At this time, the locking rod 45 on one side of the hopper 20 contacts the inclined surface 441, and the vertical degree of freedom of the hopper 20 is restricted by the handle 44, so that the hopper 20 is completely fixed on the hopper mounting base 10. When unlocking is required, the handle 44 is rotated so that the unlocking notch 442 is opposite to the locking rod 45. Since there is no inclined surface 441 at the unlocking notch 442, the vertical degree of freedom of the hopper 20 is not restricted, and it can rise or fall freely. At this time, the operator can pull out the hopper 20 to perform replacement, cleaning, and other maintenance work.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The quick-release assembly 40 also includes a torsion spring 46 and two sets of limiting posts 47. The torsion spring 46 is sleeved on the positioning post 43 and connected to the handle 44. After the handle 44 is rotated to the unlocked position, the torsion spring 46 can drive the handle 44 to rotate back to the locked position. The two sets of limiting posts 47 are provided on the hopper mounting base 10, and the two sets of limiting posts 47 are used to limit the rotation angle of the handle 44.

[0041] Understandably, when the operator turns the handle 44 to the unlock position to unlock, the torsion spring 46 can drive the handle 44 to the locked position and keep it in the locked position. When it is not necessary to unload the hopper 20, the torsion spring 46 can keep the handle 44 in the locked position to prevent the hopper 20 from loosening due to vibration.

[0042] Understandably, the two sets of limit posts 47 can limit the maximum rotation position of the handle 44, preventing the handle 44 from rotating excessively under the drive of the torsion spring 46 and colliding with the hopper 20.

[0043] It is worth noting that in some embodiments of this utility model, the screening bead 33 is a ceramic sphere.

[0044] Understandably, ceramic balls have advantages such as high hardness and wear resistance, resulting in a long service life and reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance.

[0045] It is worth noting that in some embodiments of this utility model, the particle size of several sieve beads 33 is different.

[0046] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
